Where you are eligible to refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service you have this right to do so free of charge, but you must do so within six months of the date of our final response. If you do not refer your complaint in time, the Ombudsman will not have our permission to consider your complaint and so will only be able to do so in very limited circumstances. For example, if it believes that the delay was as a result of exceptional circumstances.

Can a third party complain on my behalf?
